That’s the point of tariffs…to give domestic supply a shot.

It’s stupid and short-sighted in a modern economy. It’s not worth it for any manufacturer to shut down existing mega factories and build new ones here. They won’t find enough people to do the jobs (especially if we deport/denaturalize a ton of people) and the costs and re-investments are huge.

Plus the only places that are left to build giant factories are distant from population centers. And I doubt there will be mass transit into them. So more pollution from personal transportation. And more pollution from local factories. Ripping the EPA to shreds will help with that, and that’s a part of agenda 47.

And you just know the ones that choose to come and build here are gonna get really nice tax breaks to do so, so there won’t be any real return for the community for a long time, if ever.

The end result is either they pass the costs into consumers, or they cut costs by laying off their expensive state-side employees and moving their positions abroad. American middle-class loses bigly either way.

For some reason now I wonder what Reading Rainbow would be like if hosted by Samuel L. Jackson.

You don’t have to take my word for it…motherfucker.

What kind of troll named the towns in Newfoundland?

There’s also a “Dildo” and a “Placentia” on the larger island.

Yeah but…I mean…wow. I graduated HS class of 2003 and I can’t remember anyone handing in a hand-written paper in any of the 4 years.

How do people be around this stuff for half their life and not know basic things like Ctrl+C Ctrl+V.

Today’s 40 year olds graduated in the high school class of 2002…there are people from that era that can’t copy/paste? For real?

IDK man, she might be on to something. Look at this rainbow. It’s more like a rain shield…ain’t no archer DPS this is tanks.

I don’t even reed the things I wirte smoetimes.

Do you like Huey Lewis and the News?

Weird…I was diagnosed as an adult and was pretty chill prior to starting meds (especially Adderall). Now that I’m used to my Vyvanse I’ve mellowed back out again.

I smoke a lot of weed though.

Honestly read that as “so legal” and I was confused as to which sub that could’ve been. There are just so many.

Whatever on the language man. My kid is 8 too, and a very welcoming and accepting boy, so the few autistic sailors in his grade flock to him.

Also, kid has good spelling and text-grammar for his age.

There are vegan and vegeterian-owned restaurants that are pretty good, but the omnis don’t know about them until they are dragged there. And I get it…you don’t really go looking for vegan or vegetarian food, specifically, when you’re omni.

One place I like has this amazing house-made seitan pastrami that they use in a Reuben sandwich, and more recently a Reuben pizza. They also got this bomb mushroom quesadilla.

Same guy owns an adjacent vegan cafe/bakery/juice bar…has awesome cupcakes and this jalapeño cornbread that’s just fucking amazing.

Other poster is a shining example of what happens when literacy rates go down and narcissism rates go up.

Sure. But speeding doesn’t cause collisons nearly to the level of any of the other things.

Going slow is a great way to reduce damage once a collision has occurred. Artificially slowing down roads (by throwing up a camera and a sign and nothing more) doesn’t do shit to prevent collisions in the first place. It might slow down the road. It might make someone panic and jump on their brakes to avoid a ticket. It might get people paying closer attention to their speedometer than to the crosswalk up ahead.

Put another way, you’re referencing the second law. Second law doesn’t matter until the first law is broke. Don’t act upon an object, won’t be no actions upon another object.

I don’t disagree, but I also think speeding is the least dangerous thing that happens on the road.

Where are the cameras catching tailgaters, people who don’t signal, people cutting others off, people cruising in the left and not passing, people blatantly running stop signs, people texting or doing makeup?

These behaviors are all far more dangerous.

Speeding is a psychological problem. You can’t take a four-lane, straight, flat, state highwayswith few cross-roads, and all of a sudden it’s a 20MPH zone because there’s a high school on it (and an elevated crosswalk at that), then throw a camera on it and make a money generating machine.

I mean, you can…Rhode Island does it. At least in the poorer neighborhoods. They don’t do it in the nice neighborhoods (well, most of them…I guess Blackstone Blvd is like the one exception). But it’s not really doing anything but pissing people off.

Maybe just…don’t build the highschool on a four-lane, flat, straight state highway with few cross-roads? Ain’t nobody living in walking distance of it anyway.

Tbh I don’t know why we don’t use copper. I imagine because it’s more difficult to fuck up threaded and doped connections as opposed to soldered ones.

You ever see gas hookups in the US?

We use black pipe for most of the run. Cast Iron. The actual hookup itself is a flexible pipe…SS or Aluminum I think. Been a long time since I had gas. Sometimes they have like a rubbery-epoxy-ish coating but I assume that’s now quite gone and stinky.

Well then I’ll make my own browser! With blackjack! And hookers!

Oh. Wait…that’s just tor-browser.

Just go to prison and have a nutriloaf ffs.
